I personally used to struggle with this... I frequently used food as a
drug when I felt stressed, uncomfortable, overwhelmed, sad, or bored. I
seriously could DEMOLISH a bad of Cool Ranch Doritos in one sitting-
only realizing it once I hit the crumbs at the bottom of the bag. I ate
mindlessly and uncontrollably. I felt awful about myself.
I had
to learn how to break that habit from the exact moment of my trigger,
in order to control it. It wasn't until I learned how to overcome that
urge to run to my comfort foods, that I finally made progress in my
weight loss journey.
You see, being healthy is NOT just
physical, it's mental and emotional too! In fact, I'd say it's WAY MORE
in your MIND than in your BODY. You aren't really healthy until ALL of
you is healthy :)
